The project increases gardeners’ access to practical horticultural tools required for garden and pest management. Toolkits are provided to 200 participating gardeners, supporting them to put their newly acquired knowledge and skills into practice.
Expected Impact
By combining knowledge, practical skills, and access to appropriate tools, the project aims to enable gardeners to manage tree pests more effectively, improve tree health and agricultural production, and ultimately increase the quality and volume of their horticultural products and potential income.
